Interact with mittwald mStudio API

Actions409

Overview

This node interacts with the mittwald mStudio API to retrieve information about users. Specifically, the "User Get User" operation fetches details of a single user by their identifier. This is useful in scenarios where you need to obtain user profile data, verify user existence, or integrate user information into workflows such as access control, reporting, or notifications.

For example, you might use this node to:

  • Retrieve detailed information about a specific user by their ID.
  • Fetch the current user's own profile data using the special identifier self.
  • Integrate user data into CRM or support systems for personalized communication.

Properties

Name Meaning
User Id The identifier of the user to retrieve. Use self to get the current authenticated user's data or provide a specific user ID string.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the user object returned by the mittwald mStudio API. This typically includes user attributes such as name, email, roles, status, and other profile-related fields as defined by the API schema.

If the API supports binary data related to the user (e.g., profile pictures), it would be included in the binary output field; however, based on the provided code, only JSON output is expected.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the mittwald mStudio API.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://api.mittwald.de.
  • The node expects the API to respond with JSON-formatted data.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credentials within n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid User Id: If the provided user ID does not exist or is malformed, the API may return an error or empty response. Verify the user ID value or use self for the current user.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems to https://api.mittwald.de can cause request failures. Check network access and firewall settings.
  • API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may trigger rate limiting. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
